This course is designed to study the fundamental concepts of human physiology-including reproductive, neural, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, endocrine and sensory systems- using hands-on experiments and computer simulations. Student EKGs, blood pressure, respiratory volume and reflexes will be measured and analyzed. Prerequisites: BIOL 2341 and BIOL 2141 and also permission of the instructor. Laboratory fee.

Students will conduct biological research under the supervision of a faculty member. Students will be expected to keep a research notebook according to standard laboratory practices and may be required to submit a research proposal at the discretion of the faculty member. A final written report of work accomplished will be required. A minimum of 3 clock hours of laboratory per week will be required for each semester hour of credit. Prerequisite: Approval of department chairperson. Laboratory fee.

A study of the physical bases and principles of inheritance and variation in plants and animals, with an emphasis on the genetics of man. Prerequisite: BIOL 1350/1150 and 1360/1160 or BIOL 1310/1100 and 1320/1120.

A variety of plant-derived pharmaceuticals and toxins are considered. Students explore the discovery, purification, and molecular mechanisms of plant-derived drugs. Reading primary scientific literature and writing in an appropriate style are emphasized in the course. Prerequisite: BIOL 2170, 2171, and BIOL 3310 or permission of the instructor.

A general study of birds and their structure, food relations, nesting habits, seasonal distribution, migration, economic importance, and conservation, with field observations and special reference to Texas birds. Weekend field trip required. Prerequisite: BIOL 1350/1150, 1360/1160 or permission of instructor.

A study of the mechanisms involved in the immune response. Emphasis on the structure and function of the components of the immune system, including humoral and cellular activity, complement, and hypersensitivity. Prerequisites: BIOL 2341/2141 or 2470, 2380/2180 and 3310 with a C or higher in each course.

A basic survey of the fundamental taxonomy, morphology, physiology, and ecology of the invertebrate taxa. Prerequisite: BIOL 2170/2175 and 2330.

A study of flowering plants of Central Texas, emphasizing techniques of identification and classification, with herbarium and field work. Ethical collecting and documentation of biological specimens, and reading primary scientific literature and writing in appropriate style are also emphasized in the course. Weekend field trip may be required. Prerequisites: BIOL 2170/2171.

A study of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment with emphasis on energy flow, community structure and population biology. Prerequisites: a minimum "C" standing in each of BIOL 1360/1160 and MATH 1306.

This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the function & regulation of the human body and physiological integration of the organ systems to maintain homeostasis. Course content will include neural & hormonal homeostatic control mechanisms, as well as study of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, immune, reproductive, and endocrine organ systems. Principles of cellular physiology will be emphasized throughout the semester. Prerequisite: BIOL 2341 and BIOL 2141 and also permission of the instructor. Concurrent enrollment in the Human Physiology Laboratory course.
